At Schoolhouse of Wonder we believe that all people, no matter their personal or economic background, should have the opportunity to learn about the wonder of the natural world. In order to best serve our community, Schoolhouse of Wonder offers programs at an affordable rate for all students. As a result, we need the financial support of citizens and businesses in order to provide and expand our quality programs. Many have recognized the benefit of having Schoolhouse of Wonder in their neighborhood, and have helped support our efforts. We are grateful for these contributions.
